Juan Dixon Press Conference at 11:30

The Wizards will hold a presser for Juan Dixon today. It was just moved from 10 a.m. to 11:30 am. As you read in today's paper, Juan signed a one-year, partially-guaranteed deal that could earn him $1.03 million, the minimum for a veteran with seven seasons of service.

The deal appears to make sense for both sides. With Gilbert Arenas down for a while, Coach Eddie Jordan needed another guard while Juan could have a chance to get some playing time on a good team and possibly earn himself a better payday on the free agent market next summer.

I'm glad to see Juan back in a Wiz uniform. He's a nice enough pick up--the problems of the Wiz weren't going to be solved by what we had left under the cap, and at least he's a feel-good player, nice to watch, fun to root for, fits in the locker room, etc. You hope the guy has a good year and gives us a spark every once in a while.

On a non-guaranteed 1-year deal for the minimum, Dixon is a low-risk pickup. But, contrary to the orgasmic delight being displayed by some, he's also a low-reward pickup. There's no reason to not want him on the Wizards, because at that price there's not much better to be had, but there's also no reason to think his presence is going to make any real difference.

What a waste!!! How do you not sign Demarr??? Dixon won't be ablt to duplicate what roger mason jr did last year....In fact won't even come close. He couldn't even get on the court for a banged up raptors squad last year.

You so called "fans" whine and cry about anything and everything. No matter what, you find a reason to complain. Try cheering and rooting and having hope for a change. Nothing is guaranteed, that's why the games are played. Only one team can win the championship, but it's the excitment along the way that makes the season worth following. Don't you all remember when we perinially NOT making the playoffs? There are no truly dominate teams in the NBA as was yester year with the Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, etc, so a break here or there can change anything. I know there are probably 10 teams/cities or more who wish they had the personel the Wizards have, with a great chance for the playoffs and beyond. I would love to see this site change the constant hating on Arenas, Eddie, Ernie, Abe, Antwan, etc. Be a positve Wiz FAN! Stop Hatin' all the time!!!!!!!
